Lyfe Lyrics - Bring Ya To The Brink - Cyndi Lauper

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it could make ya 

It can bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya 

It could bring ya to the brink 

But Im learning to time myself 

Turn it easy over 

Put some spice back on the shelf 

Like elevator buttons go on and on 

And doors that open and shut 

Without a cause 

There's something greater than I dare to know 

Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater 

And watch it go 

(What does it mean?) 

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya 

It can bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya 

It could bring ya to the brink 

The struggle, hard and deep 

Of what I learn to keep 

Along the way, everyday 

Little one, I take your hand 

And wonder, how Im gonna help ya be a man 

And how Ill help ya understand 

(What does it mean?) 

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it could make ya 

It can bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya 

It could bring ya to the brink of lyfe 

Two steps forward and one step back 

Cover my mouth, choke 

And pull down my hat 

Into the seamless hope 

Of an endless drive 

Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride 

Whitewashing down trodden people 

They're displayed like a grand masquerade 

Making us feel better, that we are brave 

Like letters that fade into dust 

Like harmony, kindness and trust 

Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me 

Peace, peace in, peace out 

That's right, what's it all about? Huh? 

(What does it mean?) 

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya 

It can bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya 

It could bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it can make ya 

It can bring ya to the brink of 

Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya 

It could bring ya to the brink 

Lyfe, along the way, everyday 

Lyfe, along the way, everyday 

(What does it mean?)
